Why the Left Is So Seductive
by Jonathan Coe, Crisis Magazine:
Much has been written in recent decades, and with good reason, about the institutions that shape culture (academia, the mainstream media, the entertainment industry), their liberal bias, and how they can be effective evangelists for the Left. However, this essay will explore forces within the human person—formidable but not irresistible—that go back to the Garden of Eden and can be as seductive as the serpent who plied his trade there. Radio talk show host, author, and Torah scholar, Dennis Prager, is not alone in calling the Left the fastest growing religion in the world.
Immanuel Kant asserted that our minds are not blank slates and that the human being has categories and structures within their minds that help process the raw sense data. In like fashion, the person who has been evangelized by the Left is not a tabula rasa but has received a primordial legacy, a kind of Adamic DNA, that aids in the conversion process.
When discussing the identity of the four rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:10-14), there is a general consensus among biblical scholars that two of the rivers were the Tigris and the Euphrates while there is a diversity of opinion concerning the identity of the other two. The Tigris and the Euphrates replenished and defined what would later be called the Fertile Crescent, the birthplace of civilization in ancient times.
